<0> hi there
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2\??????~1.MP1 - The filename, directory name, or volume label synta
<0> x is incorrect.
<0> i am unable to delete 2 files occupying 1 GB from my HDD , any suggestion please ?
<0> filename is ????????.mp1 and ???????.mp0
<1> try putting the file names inside double quotes
<2> delete them from the command prompt
<0> i cannot rename , move , delete , cut , paste the files
<0> rmdir /s C:\cygwin\2\2 -s ---> that was what i am trying to do
<2> del *.mp1
<2> del *.mp0
<1> ? is a special character
<0> yes
<0> unknown character
<1> did you try the quotes?
<0> yes
<0> didnt work
<1> then wildcard it, like Intuitive said
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2>del *.mp1
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2\??????~1.MP1
<0> The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
<3> you need to escape all question marks
<4> woo fricky doo w00t for knoppix!
<0> TMS explain please
<0> i tried booting from backtrack and deleting , it didnt work
<0> weird , i even dont have bad sectors
<3> Clock: \?
<0> sorry ?
<0> TMS any ideas pal ?
<1> Clock: he jus told you how to escape the question mark
<1> just*
<0> i replace the ? by " " space ?
<1> no
<1> READ
<1> del \?.foo, instead of del ?.foo
<1> each question mark will have to be escaped
<0> ok i will give a try wait
<1> Clock: do NOT msg me
<1> speak in the channel
<0> for deleting ??????~1.MP0 it's del \?\?\?\?\?\?.mp0 ?
<4> woo Arkaic hey hey gmornin
<1> hey rolemodel-
<1> Clock: no, that is not correct
<1> you left out parts of the file name
<1> Clock: what os?
<0> ok im too dumb but please give me the command to type because im about to cry
<0> XP pro Sp2
<4> hot damn if only knoppix loaded quicker on this 500mhz machine :p
<1> and are you trying this from a cmd prompt?
<0> Arkaic yes
<0> rolemodel i tried to delete the file from linux i couldnt
<4> i dont care :)
<1> Clock: how did you get to the cmd prompt?
<0> cmd ?
<0> run , cmd
<1> replace each question mark with \?, as TMS said
<1> the other characters would still remain
<1> the quotes should have worked though....
<0> yes that's what i am saying , i type del \?\?\?\?\?\?~1.mp0 to delete ??????~1.MP0
<0> no ?
<1> and wtf are you asking this in a networking channel anyways?
<0> hehehe
<0> ok ok
<0> sorry
<1> what happen if you try del \?\?\?\?\?\?~1.mp0
<0> C:\Documents and Settings\Karimm.KARIM>del C:\cygwin\2\2\?\?\?\?\?\?~1.mp0
<0> The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
<0> still the same prob
<0> forget about it i dont think there is a solution
<1> and you tried del "C:\cygwin\2\2\??????~1.MP0" ?
<0> yes , same problem
<3> should support tab complete
<1> true
<0> i've tried shredding also with no luck
<0> tab complete ?
<1> *shrug* I aint on windows at the moment.....but I am sure that it woudl be relatively quick to figure out if I were.
<3> hit tab to complete the file name
<0> i dont think so
<0> TMS when i do nothin happens
<0> ok ok wait
<0> i will try
<3> reverse order?
<1> del ^?^?^?^?^?^?~1.MP0
<1> try that
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2>del ^?^?^?^?^?^?~1.MP0
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2\??????~1.MP0
<0> The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
<0> even with Tab
<0> pretty weird
<0> isnt there a way to format a " Folder " ? lool
<1> del /s
<1> del /s c:\somefolderpath
<0> C:\cygwin\2\2>del /s c:\somefolderpath
<0> Could Not Find c:\somefolderpath
<1> lol
<0> lol
<0> :P
<1> you do realize, that folder name would have to exist on your system......
<1> its an example, not to be typed literally
<0> even when trying to backup the drive i cannot because data cannot be access from that folder .. so i have to format and reinstall everying manually
<1> del /s C:\cygwin\2\2
<1> sheesh
<0> man i know lool
<0> i know , i tried also rmdir /s /q
<0> didnt work
<1> what created these files?
<0> they where made when i was trying to convert an mp3 using Sound Forge
<0> and windows crashed
<0> and i had thoses files
<1> are you actually using cygwin at all?
<0> i can live without it
<1> that wasnt the question
<0> yes i used to use it
<1> use the cygwin bash shell to remove the files
<0> i did :) i also booted from backtrack and tried removing the files i couldnt
<0> i believe i have to format , damn luck
<1> you did it wrong then
<1> *shrug*
<0> well then i have to reinstall cygwin
<0> because when i tried to delete the directory it deleted everything except the 2 files
<5> is there a hardware support chan?
<6> well there is a #Hardware channel
<5> yea i saw that, but the topic didnt look too promising
<5> i think i found one via searchirc.com on efnet
<5> thanks. :)
<7> Ok, so it appears that my port 1250 network traffic my THEORETICALLY be the backup software running across the network. show of hands on how likely that sounds?
